From 9af6528ee9b682df7f29dbee86fbba0b67eab944 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2016 18:37:29 +0200 Subject: sched/core: Optimize __schedule() Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().
